So, my textbook presents me the following:
睡覺 :to sleep (verb plus object)
睡:to sleep (verb)
覺:sleep (noun)
Can anyone explain/show me how 睡覺 and 睡 differ, or are they used interchangeably?

睡觉 =睡v.+觉n.
例句:太晚了,你该去睡(觉)了。
睡一会儿(觉)
睡几分钟(觉)
相似的:喝茶=喝v+茶n
喝一杯茶
喝几口茶
喝一会儿茶
睡+觉,是唯一的,听的人可以明白,所以“觉”可以省略
喝+水/酒/茶…,不唯一,听的人不明白,所以“茶”不可以省略

I never thought in this way, but I think it makes sense. Let’s try it:
Donald: ‘What did you do?’
Joe: ‘I slept (a sleep).’ 睡(了一个)觉
Donald: ‘How was your sleep?’ 觉
Joe: ‘I slept well.’ 睡(得好)
Donald: ‘How long did you sleep?’ 睡(了多久)
Joe: ‘I slept for an hour.’ 睡(了)
Donald: ‘ok sleepy Joe. Go back to sleep (a sleep).’ (回去)睡觉
The explanation works!

Verb ‘to sleep’ with objects is used very rarely in spoken English, e.g.: He slept the sleep of innocent.
Use of verb ‘to sleep’ without object is very straightforward, e.g.: I slept well.
A ‘sleep’ as a noun: e.g.: A brief sleep.
